Re: 84' 3/4 lowered advice

No. The 'hanger' is your new front leaf spring mount. The 'shacle' replaces the rear facory shackle.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: 84' 3/4 lowered advice
I believe that is correct. I can't remember the exact cut off year.

No suggestions here. I don't care for any of the 'new' commercially available 8-lug wheels unless you hit close to the 1k each price tag (some of them look pretty clean). Everything 8-lug that's current & affordable has jacked-up offsets/back-spacing geared toward newer trucks that are lifted.

Re: 84' 3/4 lowered advice
Your truck looks great! I want to lower my 76 C20 but have a few questions.
  1. Are your rear shocks located on the outside or inside of the frame rails?
  2. Did you use the DJM lowered shocks in the rear?
  3. Did you do anything on the front?
Thanks
